The Realm Online

Goose Goose Duck

The Realm Online is one of the earliest graphical MMORPGs, released in the late 1990s. While it still maintains a small nostalgic community, its playerbase has dwindled significantly due to age, outdated graphics, and limited updates. However, it fits the persistent world and large-scale multiplayer MMO definition.

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction party game released in 2021, similar to Among Us, which had significant popularity during its first year and retains an active global player base, particularly in regions like Asia. However, being a party game, player retention over time is moderate but not at massive scales seen in major MMOs, though it holds steady with tens of thousands of daily active players two years post-launch.
